Chapter 417: Chapter 403: I can smell the scent of a kindred spirit on your body!

[ Just when Kazuma was feeling lonely, Iris came looking for him. Kazuma instantly beamed with joy, but immediately after, Aqua’s voice drifted out from the banquet hall.

"Next up, a giant frog will emerge from this piece of glass..."

Listening to the clamor coming from the hall, Kazuma was speechless: "She’s doing parlor tricks again."

Iris sat somewhat forlornly on a chair: "Tomorrow, this place will become quiet again. The certain someone who angered Claire has to go back~"

Looking at that melancholic smile, Kazuma felt a bit shaken and tried to change the subject: "But I really don’t know what’s so good about me, anyway?"

Iris looked up at the starry sky: "It’s the first time I’ve met someone like you."

"Rude and impolite, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, instilling all sorts of strange knowledge into me, a member of the royal family. Not mature in the slightest, and only caring about winning when playing games."

Kazuma broke into a cold sweat listening to this: "Hey... don’t just list the things you hate about me!"

Iris laughed softly: "I’m telling you the reasons I like you."

Afterward, Iris expressed her wish to become an adventurer. Also, due to the recent appearance of a chivalrous thief in the capital who robs the rich to help the poor, she wanted to become a thief as well.

Kazuma was deeply inspired: "That’s it!"

In order to stay and live in the castle, Kazuma proposed during the banquet that he would catch this chivalrous thief. This left Darkness dumbfounded.

"You, who have absolutely no connection to a sense of justice... what has gotten into you?"

The surrounding nobles also began to mock and ridicule Kazuma. However, to avoid becoming targets of the chivalrous thief themselves, some nobles still supported Kazuma’s idea.

After thinking for a moment, the female knight Claire decided to have Kazuma set up defenses at a noble’s house. Thus, they arrived at the home of the fat feudal lord who had a grudge against them. ]

"Hahaha, Aqua really lives up to the title of Goddess of Banquets, never forgetting to put on a show wherever she goes..."

"Wait, what? You actually conjured it up! You just casually summoned a giant frog daddy for yourself? And right in the middle of a banquet, no less."

Everyone outside the video was stunned. This was simply a mystery skill. The bizarre amount of pigeons from before was one thing, but now she could conjure something the size of a giant frog? That was going too far!

.....

〜Baka to Test: Summon the Beasts World〜

Listening to Iris’s scolding, Akihisa revealed a refreshing smile and gave a thumbs up:

"As expected of Her Highness the Princess, she’s a good judge of character."

Just listen to those flaws; who else could compare to you? ...Kazuma-yo, just join our glorious FFF Inquisition. A royal romance development between a hero and a princess? Don’t you even think about it!!

Seeing Akihisa’s gloating expression, Hideyoshi reached out and facepalmed:

"Akihisa, that idiot. He doesn’t actually think Iris hates Kazuma, does he?"

To accept a person’s flaws is the very reason for liking them. Your Princess Highness has already started to fall for him, Akihisa-yo.

Yuuji, on the other hand, laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, Akihisa, do you know why Iris only mentioned flaws? Because Scum-zuma doesn’t have any virtues."

I’m afraid Iris really couldn’t find any good points in Kazuma... All those perfectly placed flaws make up the person known as Kazuma!

However, he actually quite liked Kazuma’s personality. If he were in another world, adventuring with Kazuma would certainly be a good choice. At the very least, it would be full of joy!

〜Gintama World〜

Toushirou Hijikata spoke up directly to retort:

"So you all knew Kazuma has no sense of justice..."

Princess Iris was right. The guy in front of you is just like a certain silver-haired natural perm—a pile of sludge, a pile of hopelessly rotten sludge!

He’s just trying every method possible to stay in the capital and continue his life of having clothes handed to him and meals served to his mouth.

Sougo looked at Kazuma, who had been assigned to the fat lord’s house, and sighed with emotion:

"What an excellent matchmaking mechanism, wouldn’t you say, Kondo-san!"

He was starting to suspect that the female knight Claire was also an ’S’ to do this on purpose. After all, arranging it this way was much more interesting.

Meanwhile, at the Yorozuya, Shinpachi said with a dark expression:

"Not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, rude and impolite, instilling strange knowledge... She’s completely describing you, Gin-san!"

Gintoki slammed the table and retorted:

"Bakayarou! How could I only care about winning in games? She’s clearly talking about Kazuma."

Shinpachi retorted speechlessly:

"That’s the part you retort to? You should have refuted the parts before that..."

.....

[ Although the plan had some deviations, there was no helping it. While Kazuma was making his rounds around the house, an unexpected room caught his eye.

Walking in, he found the lord grinning wickedly at a mirror. The lord was startled: "Wh... what the, it’s you! There’s nothing here, you know."

"What are you looking at?" Kazuma leaned directly into the mirror to stare, then discovered it was a two-way mirror that allowed one to see into the bathroom next door.

Kazuma’s tone became unfriendly: "Did you tamper with the mirror because Darkness is going to stay there?"

The fat lord awkwardly turned his head away and issued an invitation: "Do... do you want to watch together..."

Faced with such an unreasonable request, Kazuma was filled with a sense of justice at that moment: "How could I agree to such a request! Alright, get out quickly, I’m staying in this room!"

Seeing Kazuma waving his hand to ’shoo’ him away, the lord, knowing he was in the wrong, subconsciously started to walk out. Suddenly, coming back to his senses, the lord stopped in his tracks: "Huh? Wait a minute, you want to stay in this room?"

Kazuma said with a straight face: "Hey, don’t get the wrong idea, okay! I chose this room solely to protect my companion."

Then the two began to argue right there, with Kazuma even threatening the lord: "Do you want everyone in the mansion to know about this room’s existence? This is a trade, so just shut up and obey."

The lord was stunned by Kazuma’s shamelessness: "I feel like I smell the scent of a kindred spirit on you. Wouldn’t it be better to shake hands and cooperate at a time like this?"

Kazuma was instantly tempted by this proposal. Just as the two scumbags were about to shake hands and make peace, Darkness smashed the magic mirror with a punch: "What an interesting topic. Could you tell me exactly what you were discussing?"

The two who were cooperating just a moment ago instantly pointed at each other, claiming the other wanted to peep... ]

[ .....]

〜Projection of All Worlds〜

"Hahaha, this is killing me. Two scumbags found their soulmate; shouldn’t they become sworn brothers?"

"Is this Scum-zuma’s daily life... Pfft... Hahaha, simply turning the world upside down! Staying in the room so boldly—who is the master here?!"

Everyone outside the video was laughing convulsively without exception. As expected of you, Kazuma. This fat lord is a good judge of character to be able to sniff out a kindred spirit in Kazuma...

It was truly too outrageous. In a sense, he was actually right. This is called birds of a feather flocking together.

.....

〜Grand Blue Dreaming World〜

Azusa-senpai clutched her stomach, laughing until tears came out:

"Hahaha, what a way to usurp the host’s role, I’m dying of laughter... Sure enough, only a scumbag can deal with a scumbag."

Even the consistently performing scumbag lord felt inferior to the Kichiku Kazuma. He was almost bamboozled by Kazuma. When it comes to being human trash, it has to be you, Kazuma.

Kitahara Iori was also filled with admiration:

"This is the first time I’ve seen a scumbag protagonist who can be so blatant about it."

To protect my companion, I want to stay in this room... I’m afraid he doesn’t even believe that himself. How can you say such shameless words?

Chisa stared at Kazuma on the screen with eyes reserved for trash:

"Am I witnessing a historic meeting between two scumbags?"

Birds of a feather flock together indeed. No wonder the perverted lord said he smelled a kindred spirit. You really are capable of doing these things, Scum-zuma!

.....

[ And so, a few more days passed. Kazuma took Megumin out every day to unleash Explosion magic. After several consecutive days, the area around the capital was full of giant nuclear craters.

Aqua, meanwhile, completely treated herself as the master of the place, getting dead drunk with the maids every day.

In just one week, Aqua drank all the precious wine stored in the mansion and went on a drunken rampage: "Hey, I know you have other good wine, bring it out quickly."

Megumin spent every day bragging about her heroic biography. As for Kazuma...

"Please give me the usual massage. Tomorrow I want to eat giant bison sukiyaki, and the duvet I ordered earlier has arrived..."

The perverted lord looked at the group who had already made themselves at home, his smile somewhat strained: "Dark... Lady Darkness, I did say please don’t stand on ceremony, but this..."

Darkness, her face flushing red, immediately gave a 90-degree bow in apology: "You don’t have to explain, it’s fine. I’ll leave immediately!" ]

[ .....]

〜Type-Moon World, ██████ Worldline〜

In the 7th singularity, Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—

Merlin looked over the deep craters:

"Just looking at the craters, that power really could destroy a city in one shot... But is it really okay to blow things up near the capital every day?"

Even the roads were blown apart! The damage caused by the Demon King’s army isn’t even as great as yours! A few more hits like that and the map will really need to be redrawn.

Siduri looked speechlessly at Kazuma’s squad, who were mooching food and drink:

"These people are the real bandits... You guys really don’t consider yourselves outsiders."

Their adaptability is way too fast; they’ve completely treated the lord’s house as their own! And Goddess Aqua, she forcibly drank all the wine stored in the mansion.

Even Ishtar nodded in agreement with Siduri’s view:

"This is clearly inviting a bunch of living burdens back home, and you have to serve them good food and drink."

Tsk tsk, this is clearly worse than having a thief break into your house. You gained a group of adventurers who came to mooch, and because they are there on royal orders, the lord can’t even kick them out...
